Trisha woke up well before Logan. He had an arm over his eyes to block out the light and the other around her pulling her close to his body.
No wonder she had dreamed she was in a sauna. Trisha wiggled out of his tight grasp and leaned forward to kiss his forehead. He groaned softly and smiled at the touch, but didn't wake up.
"I should have known you'd be difficult," she scolded him.
She slipped out of bed and grabbed some of Logan's own clothes since hers were not in any shape to be worn. She'd get new later it was something that had to be done in any case.
Once dressed and no longer smelling like werewolf sex, she wandered through the mansion. She wanted to find Kanda and speak to him, but instead she stumbled onto Lauren in the kitchen.
The other woman was holding a mug to her chest and eyed her. "I take it last night went well."
Trisha's cheeks were on fire but she couldn't deny it. The others here weren't dumb. "For the mos
"I know you said this would work, but I still need to say I'm against this," Lauren said with a heavy sigh."Against it or not, it's my wife's plan so I plan to follow it," Logan shrugged. "Hey, even if it doesn't work we can always just run back to the pack and just live the rest of our life there. I'm sure you'd love that, wouldn't you?"The look she gave him could have melted steel. "Are you being serious right now?"He smirked. "Just have more faith in her."Kanda grinned. "It's a solid plan. It all really hinges on how desperate they are. If they don't believe us, this could go south pretty quick, but hey, I'm here. I'll keep you safe."Kanda had been the biggest supporter of her plan, but she figured that was because he had such a huge part in it. "Do you have your speech ready?""Ready and waiting," he replied. "I just distract them long enough and you come in with the killing stroke.""Or they decide that they're just go
Trisha cradled the phone in her hand as she smiled uncontrollably. "It worked, Rach."The voice on the other end crowed. "That's great news! I told you that you shouldn't worry so much. You should depend on your guild more you know."Trisha sighed. "I have to quit the guild."Silence echoed on the other end. "What?" the other woman finally whispered. "You've been playing for over ten years, what happened?"Trisha chuckled. What had happened to her life? More than she'd ever thought, that was for sure. She was married to a werewolf and had relationships with other men. Her, she'd never thought about marriage to one guy before, and now look at her."Trisha?""Sorry," Trisha mumbled. "Those guys I told you about, one of them deleted my character on Clevania. There's no coming back from it. I even called tech support and because she hacked into the system she or someone she hired, overwrote the code so there's nothing to restor
It took Rachel a mere three hours to show up after their phone call.That meant she'd used her private jet, which also meant that Trisha was in trouble, a lot of it.Ryan was the one that ended up opening the door for her. Trisha sunk deeper into the softness of the couch. She needed to find a place to hide and fast."Where is Trisha?" Rachel demanded as she lowered her sunglasses and gave Ryan a patented glare."How did you get by security?" Lauren demanded as she took a place behind the actor. "That shouldn't have been possible."Rachel smirked. "Maybe you should train your security to the know the difference between a real camera feed and a fake one. Or at least let them know that they shouldn't send the entire staff after just one person committing arson."She didn't wait for them to answer her and pushed through until she spotted Trisha still sinking into the depths of the couch."Hi Rach.""Don't you hi Rach m
As Trisha finished her story Rachel studied her in silence. She wilted beneath her friend's sharp glare."You lost your job, and you didn't tell me. You took a random stranger's offer to be his wife, and you didn't tell me. You got involved with supernatural beasts, and you didn't tell me. Trisha, what am I going to do with you?"Trisha stared at the counter. "Forgive me?""Does our friendship mean nothing? I could have helped you through all of this. I'm glad that things worked out, but you could have been killed several times over. And I'm having a talk with that Kanda guy right now. I can't believe you forgave him after tricking you like that.""He never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do, he helped me."Rachel shorted. "He didn't help you do anything. He took advantage of you.""No, he didn't. I promise, Rachel. I wouldn't have married him in-game if that had been true.""You told me that he basically m
Rachel had not been happy, true to Trisha's belief. She'd let her leave with Ryan but had not been happy with it.Ryan had a constant smile on his lips as they got to the studio lot."Ryan, who is this?" The man that spoke had perfectly manicured blonde hair and sparkling green eyes."This is my wife," Ryan introduced. "She'll be in your care for the remainder of the day while I'm working.""Your wife?" he asked with a puzzled frown. "Ryan, I think we need to talk."Ryan's eyes flashed with a challenge. "If you have something to say to me, you can say it in front of Trisha."The blonde dipped his head to Trisha."My name is Jace. I'm sorry if this is rude, but this I cannot allow.""There is nothing you can do about it." Ryan's smile never faltered but he put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her to him."She's my wife."Jace sighed hard. "I believe I saw a reporter giving quite a different story yesterday. This is Lo
By the time Ryan was finished with his job for the day, Trisha had a new appreciation for his skills. She hadn't bothered paying attention to him before when he had just been a pretty face to her, but now she could fully take in his work."He's not bad," Lauren commented as she watched where Trisha's attention was focused. "Logan is just as skilled, he just doesn't choose to use it."This time Jace snorted. "You have too high of an opinion of that one. He's a model he hasn't even tried to do the kind of work Ryan does. Logan needs a lot of work to ever catch up to Ryan."Instead of rising to the bait, Lauren ignored him. "Logan is more skilled than you probably realize. Sure, he's handsome and photogenic, but he can act too," instead her words were directed to Trisha, completely ignoring Jace."He's not on par with Ryan," Jace sniffed.Lauren still ignored the blonde."I'm glad this day is over, but it was nice to take a break from Log
When they got back in the mansion Rachel was the first to confront them."That wasn't very smart, Trish. What were you thinking? It's hard enough for me to accept all this."Trisha kept her chin up as she talked to her friend. "I wanted to pull a snake out of hiding." She pulled out her phone and handed it over to Rachel.Rachel scanned through it and smirked. "Wait, does she think that using a blocked number is going to keep her safe?" she grabbed her own phone and taking Trisha's she retreated to the couch."Are you okay?" Logan was by Trisha's side in an instant. "I was with her, don't you think she's fine?" Lauren rolled her eyes at him.Logan ignored her. "Those vultures probably enjoyed that display. I'm sure we'll have the mansion surrounded again."Jace sighed. "Why did I have to get dragged along?""Did you want to fight your way through that wall?" Ryan asked with a smirk playing on his lips.Jace groaned. "No, but I'm not fond of being at Logan Star's residence either.""Wh
"Why do I have a feeling that you're not referring to the Council and their minions?" Jace questioned with a deep frown."Because I'm not," Lauren replied. "I'm talking about your client over there. Have you changed your mind about helping me?"Jace grunted. "I do not see how you are giving me a choice in the matter. I either help you on this suicidal mission, or I go against you and have to fight you to defend my client. I am obviously not a fighter, so the second choice does not appeal to me.""I knew you could be smart if you put your mind to it. Come on," Lauren commanded.Jace sighed once more before his head drooped. "Very well, I have no other choice. The rest of you please stay out of trouble while we are gone. This could become an even more complicated situation."Trisha however was trying to wrap her mind around the idea of living with Logan's pack. She'd gotten used to one werewolf, and one vampire, one incubus, and one felin
